Default Bowl gouge flutes; V. U, ?.

In your experience what are the advantages and disadvantages of the
different flutes you have used?


I bought an inexpensive (cheap) one that is more V than I was used to.
I can't get the hang of it. Use it some for roughing out. If I wasn't
so cheap myself I would throw it away.

How much does cost count above $50?

More and more.

Do you keep any OEM handles that are obviously too short, for any reason
other than pride of purchase?


How about obviously too long? I have a 1/4" gouge that was always
whacking the ways when turning the corner inside a small bowl or box.
I sawed it off and now it looks more like a screwdriver, and I love
it. Yes I saved the part I sawed off.

If you're right 95% of the time, why
quibble about the remaining 3%?
